The Gunners are without a win in their last six Premier League matches and closer to the relegation zone than European qualification
Mikel Arteta admits that while he cannot fault his Arsenal team for effort, their current performances in the Premier League are "not good enough."
The Gunners are without a win in all of their last six outings in the league, a run which included a timid North London Derby defeat at the hands of arch-rivals Tottenham.
That awful form has seen them drop as low as 15th in the standings, just five points clear of the relegation zone with 12 games played.
